Nurse burnout is prevalent. Because nurses are on the front lines of patient care, nurse burnout may be associated with many dimensions of patient outcomes.
To date, most anti-burnout efforts have focused on individual interventions, such as mindfulness or personal resilience training designed to help people more effectively cope with stress, rather than interventions to reduce stress and burnout in the workplace. Many effective interventions are at the work unit level, where health care workers experience teamwork, feelings of community, professional development, and recognition.
Numerous health care organizations have begun to take action, including appointing senior leaders to develop an organizational strategy to address the root cause issues in the clinical practice environment, such as low staffing levels and long work hours or overtime. Hospital accrediting bodies have also begun evaluating such organizational efforts, which may encourage more widespread adoption.
In this webinar, we will present new evidence on nurse burnout and its consequences and discuss system-level strategies to prevent it.
Presentation topics include:
- Review the concept and prevalence rate of nurse burnout across specialties and countries
- Explain common causes of nurse burnout and the consequences of burnout on nurses
- Present new evidence on the effects of nurse burnout on patient safety, patient satisfaction, and quality of care
- Introduce evidence-based interventions to reduce nurse burnout, with a comparison between nurse-directed strategies and organization-directed strategies
- Present a job redesign framework to address root causes of clinician burnout, especially in the context of artificial technology adoption and health inequalities
